      just go to a lighting wholesaler where you can buy 2 packs of 20 each, for like $15 a pack. then you will have enough.

      That's the dash I have in my 09 Aveo5. It's the same as the 07-09 Sedan cluster.

      I'm pretty sure that cluster is only in the '09. My '07 is different. Unless your talking about bulb wise then maybe.

      the 07-08 sedans have the same dash as the 09 hatchbacks.

      if you have an 07-08 hatchback then you still have the older dash.

      Re: Changing Dashboard Light Color?

      I just changed my dashboard lights to blue leds a few days ago, bought them off ebay (a pack of 10) I changed all of the lights, even the air control panel in the center. It took all of them, I didn't change the dimmer switch light because I didn't care ... I'm the only one that will ever see it when driving, and air toggle push buttons are still green. I did order the wrong bulb size though, but I made it fit the socket, they were more than half the price of the larger ones so I figured I would make them work. I ordered T10s I believe and they are SMALL, but they light everything up fine. I imagine if I had the right size it would be brighter.

      If you plan on doing the guages and the air controls, they take two different bulb sizes. 5 will be the T10 size and 5 will be the larger size 2825 or equivalent.

      The small leds I used do make some hot spots, but again... if I had the right bulb size for the guages maybe it would have been different. I have been getting compliments ever since I put them in. The hot spots are nothing big either, it isn't like you'll be pissed you went led, you'll be happy you went led.

      If I can get a pic I'll post it.

      BTW: I have an '07 hatch.

      Nice dude, I wonder if you can change those little defrost lights and stuff too? Probably not.

      Yeah you can I was going to but since I put the CB in the shelf above that it makes it extremely hard to access the screws to take it apart. I was halfway there and said screw it, I'll just leave them

      It's a camera phone shot too so it isn't that good of a picture but it gives you a taste I guess.
